- Great to see the market being educated about the needs to use strong random passwords per site -- growing the category is a good thing- We obviously have way more capabilities and functionality -- this will be Apple ecosystem only. - Sad to see that developers won't have the ability to plug into Mobile Safari like this new password manager will -- frustrating to watch giant companies make moves like this while they don't allow competition, or even replacement of the default browser...

Agree with Joe, and is one reason I do not purchase Apple products (though am forced to use them at times). Apple is great at simplicity, but monopolies are bad.

I think Apple will still need to prove they know how to do password management and security properly. Apple has a hit and miss history on these items. iCloud security (along with multifactor) is an example of doing it wrong: http://arstechnica.com/security/2013/05 ... your-data/

I think many users will be disappointed by how locked down iCloud keychain is. If it is possible within Apple's sandbox, a big draw for people might be a premium LastPass feature that would periodically (or manually on demand) sync with the keychain. That would be the best of both worlds - keep using LastPass, while being able to shuttle those passwords into the keychain for easy use in Safari on iOS.

I think iOS is clearly one of LastPass's weaknesses, albeit because of apple's strong hold on default iOS browser (a la, IE with early windows). I wonder if just loging into your frequent sites using lastpass in safari (desktop) will prompt iCloud keychain to pickup on the logins and store them so they're 'synced' to iCloud.
